Losing the face of the franchise for the past four years. Defections to join said franchise player in Cleveland. Injuries to start the season. Injuries throughout the season.

After picking up their 17th straight win Wednesdaynight, the Atlanta Hawks continue to wow the basketball world. The questions you hear about them are all positive. How many All-Stars do they deserve? Is there even a rival for Mike Budenholzer in the Coach of the Year race?

I&#039;m all for optimism and reaching for the stars. If you have a goal, go all in. Monta Ellis&#039; latest goal might be a bit of a stretch, though.

Earlier today, Hoops Rumors&#8217;Â Eddie Scarito looked back at the deal that sent the draft rights of Tyson Chandler to the Bulls as part of the package that sent Elton Brand to the Clippers.

The Trail Blazers were bad at defense last year. Not as bad as you might think-- they were 16th in the league in defensive rating, just below average. Even still, a mediocre defense basically precludes you from winning a title, so let&#8217;s talk about it.

By David Ramil It usually takes more than just a handful of games to define a man&#8217;s legacy, unless that man is Dwyane Wade and you&#8217;re talking about the 2006 NBA Finals. It was Wade&#8217;s third season in the NBA and in that short time the Miami Heat had undergone an incredible tra...2014-08-08 15:39:285/19: Hoops Habit- Marcin Gortat: A Fit For Dallas Mavericks?http://hoopshabit.com/2014/05/19/marcin-gortat-fit-dallas-mavericks/
The Mavericks approach another offseason with a familiar item at the top of their to-do list. What would an offseason be in Dallas without searching for a starting center?

what the Miami Heat did with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
